Social Policies and Territory: A look from the decentralization process
Abstract
The hypothesis that guides the work maintains that the process of decentralization in Argentina has been the result of circumstantial agendas and has not constituted in itself a consensual State policy between the key actors of the political system nor is it part of a comprehensive developmental strategy. With this in mind, the work will be structured in four stages: first, some theoretical-conceptual aspects of the decentralization process will be considered; then, some of the political-institutional characteristics of Argentina that have influenced the development of decentralization in the country will be presented; the main antecedents of the process of administrative decentralization in Argentina are presented below, in particular, in terms of efficiency and equity, with special emphasis on public education and health services. Afterwards, the current characteristics of the decentralization processes of the Educational System and the Health System are described. Finally, some lessons learned will be systematized.
